Evolution of Multi-mass Globular Clusters in Galactic Tidal Field with the Effects of Velocity Anisotropy
We study the evolution of globular clusters with mass spectra under the influence of the steady Galactic tidal field, including the effects of velocity anisotropy. Similar to single-mass models, velocity anisotropy develops as the cluster evolves, but the degree of anisotropy is much smaller than isolated clusters. Except for very early epochs of the cluster evolution, nearly all mass component...
متن کاملMass Loss Timescale of Star Clusters in External Tidal Field
We investigate evolution of star clusters in external tidal field by means of N body simulations. We followed seven sets of cluster models whose central concentration and strength of the tidal field are different. We found that the mass loss timescale due to escape of stars, tmloss, and its dependence on the two-body relaxation timescale, trh,i, are determined by the strength of the tidal field...
متن کاملMass Segregation in Globular Clusters
We present the results of a new study of mass segregation in two-component star clusters, based on a large number of numerical N -body simulations using our recently developed dynamical Monte Carlo code. Specifically, we follow the dynamical evolution of clusters containing stars with individual masses m1 as well as a tracer population of objects with individual masses m2. We consider both ligh...
متن کاملMass Loss from Globular Clusters
We consider both observational and theoretical issues related to dynamical mass loss from the old globular star clusters of the Galaxy. On the observational side the evidence includes tidal tails and extratidal extensions, kinematic effects, effects on the mass function, and influences on the statistical properties of surviving objects. Even for isolated clusters, the theoretical issues are not...
متن کاملA Wide-field Kinematic Survey for Tidal Tails around Five Globular Clusters
Using the AAOmega instrument of the Anglo-Australian Telescope, we have obtained mediumresolution near-infrared spectra of 10,500 stars in two-degree fields centered on the galactic globular clusters 47 Tuc, NGC 288, M12, M30 and M55. Radial velocities and equivalent widths of the infrared Ca II triplet lines have been determined to constrain cluster membership, which in turn has been used to s...
